Actually there is a greater chance of another Ice Age than there is of catastrophic warming.
Cold kills, humans have thrived during previous warming periods that were warmer than today.
We are a tropical species.

Based on correlation with sun spot activity you may be right.
beaversmom,
Thanks for the post and the link. Great video that I need to share with my “progressive friends.”
the left called everyone who doubted that an impending ice age was about to hit “Anti-Science”, and i believe said the ‘science was settled’
Hmmm, guess it wasn’t so settled and I guess the people who doubted weren’t anti-Science after all- the left owes people who doubt that man is causing climate change an apology
mankind was created in a tropic-like climate (minus the rain)- and now man is complaining that we are going back to a tropic-like climate?
Many Liberals, they are NEVER EVER happy about anything-
A compilation of news articles on the global cooling scare of the 1970’s
Does the bullet point list for solutions to global cooling at right look familiar? It reads almost like some of the manifestos we get from warmists today, including the suspension of Democracy as the article in the Owosso Newspaper clearly demonstrates. Thanks to Poptech for the compilation.
During the 1970s the media promoted global cooling alarmism with dire threats of a new ice age. Extreme weather events were hyped as signs of the coming apocalypse and man-made pollution was blamed as the cause.
Environmental extremists called for everything from outlawing the internal combustion engine to communist style population controls. This media hype was found in newspapers, magazines, books and on television;
I still sorta miss “In Search Of...”.
I expect they would be there to prevent global mildness with temperatures that are just too pleasant.
I just picked up the entire series on DVD for about $30.
Ice age, it seemed very believable at the time. Imminent as a matter of fact after 3 winters like those in a row.
Global mildness!? You’re scaring the schiff out of me with kind of talk.
Then a couple hours later you posted this. Perfect.
Wait! What if we set off H-bombs at the right place to change the axis of the Earth’s spin to bring on Global Warming and save the planet! Plus we can grow more crops!

And the only cure is.....
MORE COWBELL!!
(I had to ... sorta)
Remember, the 1978 Ice Age is Settled Science (tm)
Funny coincidence and funny story.
I have a 14 year old daughter, too.
She loved Trump before I did. :)
Gotta raise them right.
‘77 was my first year in construction as a carpenter. I froze my butt off at times that winter but I don’t recall thinking it was anything other than “another Colorado winter” except that I had to work in it instead of play in it.
In Search Of was a good show.
Check out YouTube for all kinds of
videos of Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. Loved that show, too.
[I still sorta miss “In Search Of...”.]
They could do “In Search Of...” “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock” on Betamax. Or laser disc.
THAT would be interesting.
